MEAT CUTES SINGLES NIGHT

what's up? Love is (possibly) in the air at Meat Sweats: All You Can Meat Steakhouse (Good First Date Spot!), which is trying to live up to its name by cramming as many first dates into one night as it possibly can. Cocktails are arguably Valentine's Day themed, and someone went to the trouble of charming paper hearts into fluttering around like drunken butterflies.

The small dining room is packed, and the tables have been arranged so that there are plenty of spots where couples can sit across from one another. Over the speakers, an "oldies" playlist of early 2000s Muggle ?love songs? is on shuffle.

Participants who get Bingo get a special prize! Anyone who gets a blackout is a madman, but there's something special in it for you if you do. And of course, signing the attendance sheet gets you half-off on rent at Henhurst Hall.

Tonight's menu is:

A pink sweetheart cocktail that tastes a little bit too much like pepto bismol, garnished with a strawberry and twisty straw.
Tater tots shaped like hearts.
Your choice of pizza (pepperoni shaped like hearts), salmon (it's pink!) or curried cauliflower with red food colouring (the veggie option).
Chocolate cake dessert.

The dinner begins at 7:00 PM and Olive kicks everyone out at 12:00 AM, but like, who wants to stay at Meat Sweats for five hours?

visuals!

volunteer slots! Hugo Weasley ends up stuck talking to an older wizard who is clearly very drunk and keeps asking extremely strange questions. On the bright side, they do manage to fill out one elusive spot on their bingo card! (By taking this spot, you can mark any one of your bingo spots as filled for free!)

Grizzy barrels into [CHARACTER C] while they're both dashing to get to the next table, and they go tumbling to the ground. Now that's a Meet Cute!

[CHARACTER D] feels like they've been plunged into ice water when Morty passes through them on his way to another table. The sensation is brief, but then they feel something cold and wet stuck to their back. It's partially digested pizza encased in ectoplasm.

how bingo works!
🍗 Remember, this IC/OOC is forward-dated meaning that it takes place on Sunday, February 14th. Please wait until Sunday to make journal posts that take place during the event.

🍗 Speed dating rounds last anywhere from thirty seconds to five minutes before Bud blows his whistle and participants are expected to get up and run to a different table, musical chairs style. There's not much organization to this event and there's nothing stopping residents from cheesing the game by running to people they already know.

🍗 Organizers insist that the seating arrangements were randomized, which is why sometimes participants are seated across from a relative or otherwise-inappropriate potential mate. They insist that, legally-speaking, this is a networking event — so don't worry, mark off those cards, and keep going!

🍗 Click here for the Bingo Card template.

On desktop: click File > Make a Copy.
On mobile: press "..." > Share & export > Make a copy.

Follow the directions in the spreadsheet to learn how to set up your card!

🍗When you're all set up, you can either paste the code in its own entry on your journal (fancy!) or grab a sharable link to your spreadsheet (convenient!). Either way, come on down to SPEED DATING BINGO and make a new comment with your character's name in the subject and your link in the body.

🍗 Reply to others and fill your card! Have fun!

🍗 The cutoff for submitting completed Bingo Cards for prizes is February 15, 12:00PM EST. You can keep playing in your threads for as long as you want, but you just won't get the Mystery Prize if you haven't submitted by the cutoff.

locations! 💘 BEFORE THE MEAT CUTE: Are you ready to find love and avoid gastrointestinal issues?

💘 SPEED DATING BINGO: Date! Meet! Win! Post your cards here with your character's name in the subject. Others can reply to your thread to start quick scenes as they fill out their cards in search of a BINGO — and maybe... true love?

💘 AROUND MEAT SWEATS: Same time, same place as Speed Dating Bingo but this section is for those MEATier scenes. (Any non-speed-dating scene)!

💘 AFTER PARTY: After you've either won or given up on Bingo, there's a plan to meet up at Poor Lenore's for drinks. A local band is playing tonight, and it's a more pleasant setup for dancing and flirting if that's your jam. You might miss the subtle aroma of a New York striploin, though.

🥩 OOC – QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS! Don't forget to submit your card under the subheader when you're got a bingo and/or blackout!

Peri mostly wanted the rent discount, but she has a bingo card and she's on the prowl.

"Okay, so, who have you got the scoop on?" Grizzy asks, leaning in conspiratorially.

"Ugh, like, nobody," Peri says, rolling her eyes dramatically. She hasn't really spoken to anyone except Kitty yet, thanks to several small embarrassments she suffered on her first day in the building. "I think Marion's Scottish," she adds, not sounding at all sure of the verity of this statement.

"I don't have 'is Scottish' on my card," Griz whines, pouts for a moment, then brightens. "Oh! But I have 'is English. YOU'RE English!'"

New cute girl alert! Hugo sits across from Peri and glances down at his card. "I bet everyone's been asking if you're part Veela." He tips his card up slightly to keep her from seeing that he made that prompt up.

Maybe not a good come-on, but a supereffective one when levelled against Peri. "Ha, ha," she says, pseudo-sarcastically in a way that indicates she's actually deeply pleased. Then she really considers the statement. "I guess I might be. I'm adopted."

This marks a personal record. The fastest Hugo has ever gone from flirt to the weighty topic of adoption and unknown parentage. He smiles through his wince and tries to pivot. "Can I put you down for only child?" he asks, clearing his throat.

"I know you," Teddy confirms with a sly grin. "Amor Fati and Herb, yeah?"

"Yeah!" Peri says, pleased to be recognized by a cute boy. Then, for fear of being mistaken for a waitress (something she also is), she adds: "My mums own it."

"That's brilliant," says Teddy, sounding as if he really thinks so.

He leans forward. "So -- safe bet you own a tarot deck, then?"

"How many followers do you have on Wizstagram? Is that too personal to ask?" Albus tilts his head slightly as he looks at some of the other questions on his card. Not as personal as the unicorn-touching question. "I have my Wizstagram account set to private. You get some weird people."

"Ugh, I know, right?" Peri says without actually answering the question. "After a certain point it's all requests for pictures of feet."

Albus shivers as he thinks about all of the feet-soliciting he's narrowly avoided by not having a public account. "Creepy. Although I was friends for a time with a foot model. She made quite the pretty penny from it—she had an extra toe on both feet, which is rather in demand in certain places." Albus remembers what they were talking about, but can't stop himself from embellishing the story. "Thousands and thousands of Wizstagram followers. Messages from all over the world, in all sorts of languages."

"Oh hey," Corrie says as she sits across from the woman with frankly gorgeous hair. "You used to do choir back in the day, didn't you?"
